Fatima Ebrahimi is the topical science group leader for theory/modeling of solenoid-free startup & ramp-up in NSTX-U. She has many years of experience in theoretical and global computational extended (magnetohydrodynamic) MHD with wide applications to astrophysical, laboratory and fusion plasmas. Studies of MHD stability in fusion plasmas, momentum transport, dynamo, and magnetic reconnection in fusion/laboratory and astrophysical plas- mas constitute her main research interests. She has more than 35 publi- cations in peer-reviewed journals. She is an elected member of APS-DPP Executive Committee (2013-2016) and a member of the executive committee for International Fusion Theory Sherwood Conference (2014-2017).
